General
Directions.
The implements needed for work are bobbins,
pattern and pins.
A machine for
lace-desk,
winding thread on the bobbins is quite essential
one purposes to make a business of the lacemaking, but this may be had later. It should be
borne in mind that only linen thread is suitable
for bobbin lace, and that to insure the best results
this should be smooth, lustrous, strong and
flexible.
It has been found by experimenting
that Barbour's Irish flax threads possess these
essential qualities to a much greater extent than
any other on the market, and I recommend it
unhesitatingly. Pins and patterns vary in size
according to the No. of thread used, and purpose
for which the lace is required.
The same design
may be used for fine and coarse lace, the pattern
if
being enlarged or made smaller by use of the
"point" or quadrille paper. No. 250, 2-cord
(Barbour's lace thread), makes a delicate edging,
suitable for trimming very fine handkerchiefs,
the same design in No. 50, same make, and
on a pattern correspondingly enlarged, produces a
most useful lace for trimming underwear and
similar purposes. The pins, which for ordinary
torchon lace are of large size, sharp and roundheaded, are pushed in the holes designated by
number. These are always put between the two
